In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Jul 27, 2026), Samantha LaDuc views the latest decline in crude oil as a short-term technical correction driven by low-liquidity trading and questionable ceasefire headlines, not as evidence that geopolitical risks have disappeared.
Lower oil prices have temporarily supported bonds and equities by easing yields, but she believes the structural backdrop remains bullish for energy.
She is watching for a cup-and-handle breakout in crude and confirmation from her oil-to-dollar ratio above 1.2, which could signal the beginning of a much larger supply-driven oil rally with significant consequences for inflation, bonds, and the broader economy.
